The Invitations
Now before we can get to the actual party we need to do the first important step and that is to invite everyone to this awesome event.
Now, depending on your generation, and yes, I will probably show mine here, will determine how you do your invites.
Me, I’m a old school paper invitation in an envelope, put in snail mail with a stamp and all! 🙂
It’s fun to get something in the mail other than bills, am I right?
Not only that they can be a great souvenir.
Plus, it’s something physical they can hang onto, put up on the refrigerator or pin to the command center as a reminder of the upcoming fun!
So, in case you don’t normally do snail mail and you probably don’t have personalized return mailing stickers.
Never fear, I’ve got you covered 🙂
These custom return address labels will make sending your 4th of July party invitations easy!
And now that you have your return address labels you’ll need those awesome invitations, right?
Let’s Decorate
I’ve always loved these little swirly decorations! They’re so easy and fun, it’s a no brainer for your 4th of July party.
And why not decorate the tops of your cupcakes, hamburgers with these super cute
flags?
Are you ready for the 4th of July?

Of course you’ll need cups for your 4th of July party too. Here are two great options.
First, a nice simple set of stars and stripes plastic cups.
Or, if you’re like me and you like the idea of making a customizable, take home, souvenir like cup for everyone to remember the great party then check out these shatterproof cups. Like I mentioned, not only are the customizable but they are shatterproof!!!
We all want a cute way to hold all those forks and spoons, knives and napkins that are needed in parties.

And everyone will need one of these star bracelets. A perfect complement to the necklace!!!
And to top off your personal decorations, why not one of these patriotic temporary tattoos?
Activities
There are so many fun activities that can had during a July 4th celebration but we’ll only go through a few!
Everyone loves bubbles, especially if you have little ones who will be running around.
Whether you feel comfortable with using whatever legal fireworks that are available to you or not why should you still have some fun and use some super cute confetti cannons!
How about the perfect pinwheel. An easy yet mezmorzing activity. 🙂
